As a result of this animal, many speculations have arisen in the painting of the king.
In a surprising and enigmatic portrait of King Charles, a butterfly has captured the world's attention, sparking a wave of speculation about its symbolic meaning.
The painting, which will be exhibited in August at the prestigious Draper's Hall in London, has generated intense debates among experts and fans of symbology. On the one hand, some maintain that the butterfly represents the transformation and renewal coming in the monarch's life.
Others, however, suggest that this insect could be linked to complications in the king's love life, in relation to his controversial relationship with Queen Camilla Parker.
But perhaps the most worrying thing is the interpretation that points to the butterfly as an omen of death. According to Greek mythology, these insects are responsible for accompanying souls on their journey to the afterlife. And in the context of the monarch's current cancer diagnosis, this theory becomes even more disturbingly relevant.
"It is truly surprising how a simple butterfly can generate so many interpretations and conjectures around the figure of the King," comments symbology expert María Gómez. "Although we must remember that these are speculations, it is undeniable that the canvas has aroused great interest and concern among the public."
The creator of the work, artist Jonathan Yeo, is the only one who knows the true meaning of the butterfly in the portrait. However, until now, he has remained secretive about this mysterious detail.
What is certain is that the official presentation of the portrait of King Charles, scheduled for August at Draper's Hall, will be an event of great expectation. There, perhaps, we will be able to unravel the enigma surrounding this peculiar butterfly and its possible relationship with the future of the monarch.
